Proverbs 31 Woman Bible Study – Day 13 Overview
Speak Wisdom, Kindness, And Life
The Proverbs 31 Woman used her mouth to speak wisdom, life, and kindness.
She was not gossipping, backbiting, slandering, comparing herself to others.
Remember, this is King Lemuel’s mother instructing her son about the kind of virtuous woman he should marry. One of those things she mentions to him, in today’s lesson, is a woman who doesn’t gossip, slander or use words idly, but instead blesses others with kindness and wisdom from her mouth.
Sadly, in the worldly culture of women, this tends to be the norm. We almost come to expect that among women.
Let’s change that narrative and walk as the Godly, virtuous Proverbs 31 Women God has called us to be!
Let’s use our mouths to bless others, speak life, encouragement, and kindness!
I’d like for you to try something. . .
Think about a time when you’ve not used your mouth to speak life and wisdom.
Recount the outcome.
Reflect what you could’ve done differently.
James 3:1-12 talks about our tongues being unbridled and the need to tame our tongue. It takes self-control to work on your thought life and choose your words wisely.
Be. That. Woman.
Use Your Mouth For Wisdom & Kindness
The challenge now is how to become like the Proverbs 31 Woman who uses her mouth for wisdom and kindness.
This can sound very lofty, so I want to give you some practical ways you can do this.
Here are 5 Quick Ways You Can Use Your Mouth for Wisdom and Kindness:
- Encourage others. Someone always needs an encouraging word. “I believe in you!” can go very far!
- Compliment others. Compliments boost confidence in our spirit and soul.
- Praise others. Talking about people’s accomplishments no matter how big or small can do a world of good.
- Speak life over others. This can give a fresh perspective on situations and challenges others may be facing, in their lives.
- Pray over others. This one tool is probably the most effective because we are talking to God and receiving answers from him, either for ourselves or others.
If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all PRAY!
Mind Your Home & Household
The Proverbs 31 Woman tended her family and her household.
She was so diligent in the pursuit of God’s plan for their lives that she did not have time to eat the bread of idleness.
(Aka, she wasn’t a busy body.)
When you’re so caught up in fulfilling the plans and purposes God has for you and your family, there is no time to become entwined in others’ business.
That doesn’t mean we should be concerned for the lives of others and create community. We should absolutely do this. However, we should not be so caught up in others that we are distracted by what God has called each of us to do.
I love the way this passage of scripture says the Proverbs 31 Woman minded her own business. . .
She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness. (Proverbs 31:27)
Do you know what idleness produces?
Gossip
Slander
Nosiness
Messiness
Decide that you don’t have time for any of that. If you stay busy focused on your calling and tending to your household, you can avoid all of it. pinky promise.
I want to encourage you to get so caught up in Jesus and God’s plans for your and your family’s life that idleness and all of her silly girlfriends pass you by!

Rinona Taylor says
Rehema Word! Thanking God for your obedience and passion to serve others! I’m currently being attacked by family members dysfunction and almost got caught up in the problems. Thanks be to God’s Holy Spirit that prompted me to speak life and love and not retaliate the offensive mess that is trying to pull me from God. Please join me in praying for Braylon my grandson and his estranged angry parents Kia and Brian. This is such a hard situation but nothing is to hard for God! I will continue to speak life and trust that God will be glorified!
Angelica says
We are praying with you!
France Castillo says
Wow, what a good lesson for today. We should use our mouth to edify people, not tearing them down. Our tongue is a very tiny part of our body but it will cause a lot of pain when we open it up to discourage people.
Thank you for the reminder that we should only open up our mouth to encourage not to discourage people. If we have no good thing to say, just be quiet and PRAY.
God Bless
Angelica says
Yes and Amen! So glad you learned a lot out of today’s lesson!
Brittany says
This lesson was what I told my friends I needed to work on, and asked for them to pray for me about it. Thank you for studying this and I love the 5 ways to use your mouth for wisdom. Be about Kingdom business.
Lisa says
Fabulous message! Gossip kills, steals, and destroys. I encourage positive speaking for my family.
Angelica says
Yes! So true, Lisa!
Venus says
I can encourage and redirect the conversation to positive thoughts.
Felicia says
Amen! I am always telling my children to be positive. Now they catch me when I say something negative even when I am explaining why not to do something. Yes I am watching the words I speak. I also need to delegate work around the house so that I am not doing everything. I wished you had talked a little more about that. I need help in that area. I will make a list and work on that. Thank you!!!
Cindy says
Wow!! This passage certainly hit home with me. I have been ”short” with my husband quite a bit lately. I find myself getting so frustrated with him…and before I know it out come the negativity. This study has been a blessing, because alot of the Proverbs 31 woman, is who I strive to become. Alot
Lorraine says
Day13—–Very Good Lesson. This Lesson shows us the importance of what comes out of our mouth, we can build another up ,or tear another down.. I choose to bring wisdom, life, and kindness to everyone I meet. When one takes care of their own, you won’t have time to be in others affairs!!
Joyce says
I have fallen in love with your articles and more especially with the love you have for God.
If you weren’t a kingdom seeker the one that seeks after God’s own heart you wouldn’t be doing all this.
I’ve been extremely blessed by P31 from day 1 till today which is day 13 for me.
As a leader of women in a small church I can testify that today’s study is a bit of a challenge . I am honest with you and I’m growing.
Not that am nossy or iddle but the impact of the so called iddlers is huge. Actually am running away from this and like king David am asking God to put a lock on my tongue .
God bless you Angie and dance with the king too.
